If you shoot anything with a cylinder, a very useful step is to check each of your cylinder throats with the slug you passed through the barrel. If your throats are smaller than the groove diameter of the barrel, you are going to have issues.

If you have not slugged before there are some youtube videos that are helpful. For you 9mil you might be able to melt some soft lead into a used case that still has a spend primer in it. That's what I did with my 45 and it worked out really well. As for the six shooters you might not be so lucky. Use either stick on wheel weights or decoy weights or fishing weights, they are all soft enough to work, but don't use regular clip on weights, they are a little hard.
